While there’s often news about the state of Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship, we hear very little about Kate Middleton and Prince Harry’s relationship. The pair once shared a close bond, but after royal journalist Omid Scobie named Kate Middleton in his book Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival as one of the people that questioned the race of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son, Archie, prior to his birth, it seems their relationship may be beyond repair. Keep reading for all the details.
Kate Middleton Faces Racist Accusations
Years ago, when Harry and Meghan decided to not only leave the royal family but accuse them of horrendous things on television, Meghan claimed that members of the royal family expressed concern over the skin color of her unborn son, Archie. Late last year, Omid Scobie, longtime royal journalist and author of Finding Freedom: Harry and Megan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family, revealed in his book, Endgame, that Kate Middleton was supposedly one of these individuals.
Scobie has since claimed that the publication of Kate Middleton's name was the mistake of translators and that he made no such accusation (the translators responded that they were simply translating what was written), but the damage was done. Many people accused Kate Middleton and the royal family of racism, and worst of all, Harry and Meghan never spoke out on the topic, despite their constant claims that the royal family never did anything to stop negative media attention on them.
Prince Harry & Kate Middleton Aren't Close
Now, there has been much chatter over Kate Middleton's health status, after she underwent a "planned abdominal surgery" in mid-January, and hasn't officially been seen since. While the royal family did preface the surgery by saying that Kate would be recovering until Easter, which falls on the last day of March, the recent photoshop scandal has led to rumors over what's really going on with Kate Middleton.
Through all of this, Prince Harry reportedly "hasn't" reached out to check in on his sister-in-law. Christopher Anderson, author of William and Kate: A Royal Love Story spoke to Us Weekly on the topic. "I think there was once a relationship, a friendship, a very close one between Harry and Kate," he said. "I'm sure he's concerned about her as well, but I know that she wants to have nothing to do with them."
Citing her recent health scare and photoshop scandal, he added that the Princess of Wales has "her own problems now."
When asked if Harry had reached out to Kate to at least check in on her after her seemingly serious surgery, Anderson responded, "My understanding is he hasn't, and it is a stalemate. They're both on opposite sides of this wall and nobody has the courage to leap over it and really make an honest attempt."
